The Watchtower by Darke Conteur

His first day of work wasn’t what Martin Cunningham expected. A sultry boss, a classy receptionist, the drama-queen foreigner, and a painfully shy techie who prefers hiding to human interaction, was the oddest group of characters he’d ever met. When an assassination attempt is made against his new boss, Martin comes face to face with the stuff of nightmares.

Now he and his new co-workers must race to prevent another attack, but where do they start? There’s very little to go on, and the only solid piece of evidence escaped through the u-bend in the toilet. By the end of the day, Martin becomes one of the privileged few who really understands what lies in the shadows, and what it means to work in THE WATCHTOWER.

My review

Summary

This was just the book I needed to read. I've been in quite the reading slump lately and this was the perfect book to get me out of it. It was exciting, fast paced and funny. I loved every bit of it. At only 90 pages it packed a wallop of a punch.

Martin starts his first day as a public liaison officer for a company he knew nothing about. Things are strange and creepy from the moment he walks off the elevator. When a weird worm creature attacks one of his new coworkers, things get stranger. Martin soon meets very powerful beings and finds out things about the world that he never knew existed. Can he figure out who sent the worm creature to kill his boss before another is sent?

Poor Martin had a helluva first day at work. First he gets attacked by a giant worm then he meets a greek God and Goddess, finds out Hell is real and then meets some zombies. There was some more stuff too but I can't give everything away. Of course, I think he'll keep that job because hello, he would never be bored, like ever!

I can't think of anything that I didn't like about this book other than the length. This was one of those books that I desperately wished it was longer. Every page of this book is packed with amazing stuff like dark magic and zombies. I think everyone would enjoy reading this and I look forward to reading more from this author and more of this series.
